Go to the passenger side, lift the door handle and then open the door with the key.

i have an 89 535i, basically the same car as yours and even if the battery is dead I can still open the door with the key. your locks might be de-sychronized and if you go to www.bmwe34.net it will show you how to fix that.

try this, jack the car up and put a battery charger on the starter solenoid, positive, of course. the neg goes to a good ground. this will charge the battery and then the locks will operate normally, provided nothing else is wrong. good luck, chuck.

Thanks everyone for your help. I was able to open the passenger side door after messing w/ it for about an hour.
